Introduction The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s possible to track the effects of (MPCA) Citizen Stream-Monitoring rainfall runoff on their stream. At the Program (CSMP) began in 1998. The CSMP end of each monitoring season, was designed to give individuals across volunteers submit their data to the Minnesota an opportunity for involvement MPCA. An annual report in a simple yet meaningful stream- summarizes data collected by monitoring program that provides data volunteers statewide and is posted on management and interpretation. 2007 the MPCA Web site. Volunteers also marked the CSMP’s tenth season with 490 receive individual reports specific to volunteers submitting data collected from their stream monitoring sites. 831 different sites across the state. The This report summarizes data collected by CSMP grew again in 2007, with 4 more CSMP volunteers during 2007.

What CSMP Volunteers Measure

Stream Water Transparency Stream transparency is an indirect measure Tracking water transparency is like of the amount of dissolved and suspended monitoring your blood pressure because it materials present in water. For most bodies tells us about the health of a stream. of water, the amount of solids suspended in In general, a low transparency reading the water is the most important factor: the reflects a large amount of sediment more suspended materials, the lower the (excessive soil material) or other suspended water transparency. In lakes, the majority of material like algae in the water. Too much suspended solids are algae. In streams and sediment in the water is a significant rivers, soil particles (predominantly silts and pollutant itself, whether it is suspended in clays) have a stronger influence on the water column or deposited on stream transparency as water flows downstream, bottoms. Suspended sediment reduces light carrying and depositing this sediment. A penetration needed for the growth of good example of dissolved material beneficial aquatic plants. It also interferes affecting transparency is the tea color with the ability of fish to see and capture caused by organic material of some their prey (Figure 3). northern, bog-influenced lakes and streams.

Algae contribute dissolved citizens to track progress toward identified oxygen to the river through the process of water-quality goals for their streams. photosynthesis while they are living, but deplete oxygen when they die and decompose on the bottom of the river.

Precipitation and Stream Stage CSMP volunteers use a rain gauge to record Water quality changes in response to precipitation data (Figure 4). Precipitation precipitation as a result of management data is important because some rainfall practices used on the surrounding land. For eventually makes its way to streams. example, in an area with too little vegetation Rainfall can affect a stream’s water level or to keep the soil in place, rainfall can “stage” by increasing the amount and rate of influence stream transparency. It does this water flowing through stream channels by carrying sediment and other materials to (Figure 5). streams over land in runoff or underground through urban and rural subsurface drainage Figure 4. CSMP Rain Gauge systems.

By recording rainfall on a daily basis and simultaneously measuring transparency and stream water level, volunteers and the MPCA can determine the connections among these factors.

Useful Definitions

Chlorophyll – the molecule found in algae that provides pigmentation (color).

Drainage Basin – the area of land drained by a number of rivers or streams.

Ecoregion – geographic areas that are distinguished from others by ecological characteristics such as climate, soils, geology, and vegetation.

Eutrophication – the natural and artificial addition of nutrients to a water body, which may lead to depleted oxygen concentrations. Eutrophication is a natural process that is frequently accelerated and intensified by human activities.

Geomorphology – the study of the evolution and configuration of landforms.

Macrophyte – rooted or free-floating large aquatic plants found in wetlands, lakes, and streams.

Photosynthesis – the process by which green plants synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water using light as an energy source and releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

Stream Discharge – quantity of stream flow per unit of time. Stream discharge is calculated by multiplying stream velocity (V) by stream cross-sectional area (A) so that Q=VA, where Q = discharge (m3/second); V = velocity (m/s); and A = cross section (m2).

Trophic – refers to the nutrient production level of a water body.

Turbidity – murkiness or cloudiness of water, indicating the presence of suspended sediments, dissolved solids, natural or man-made chemicals, algae, etc.

Watershed – the area of land drained by a particular river of stream system, which when added together make up a drainage basin.
